Books on Silver Lake

Thanks to you, my recently published book, "Silver Lake Chronicles: Exploring an Urban Oasis in Los Angeles" continues to be a hot seller at local bookstores. Please keep spreading the word and if you haven't already, please 'Like' us on the Silver Lake Chronicles FACEBOOK page. In the meantime, my co-author Vincent Brook and I are working on a follow-up work tentatively entitled Silver Lake Bohemia: How America's Hipster Capital Got Its Mojo. Available on Amazon.

For our readers with an appreciation for architecture, Los Angeles is a treasure trove, however due to its vast size (469 sq. miles!) it could take a lifetime to explore! The City of the Angels has over 1025 officially-designated historic-cultural monuments in addition to the many architectural wonders that have no official designation. It is my pleasure to share my personal discoveries with you, our readers on my page "Treasures of Los Angeles Architecture". Many of the images shown here are well-recognized, however, I hope that you will "find something new'" every time you return for a visit.

About Michael Locke

As a realtor, I try to visit as many open houses as I can during the week. Normally I bring my camera along, not only as a memory of my visit, but also to create a permanent archive of architectural photographs for the Los Feliz Improvement Association of which I am a board member.
